Oh, what a partay!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who put this wonderful bowling event together and to everyone who came or participated in one way or another. Ben, what a concept...what a terrific job!!! Deb, Kelly, Clyde, Scott, Hollie, Sarah, Stacey, Thom, people I didn't recognize and everyone else...WOW!! The turnout was incredible. I have no idea how many people showed up but the place was packed. Bowlers aplenty and great non-bowlers just having a ball. My biggest surprises...John Kurap, thought he was in New Guinea...Deanna and Bob, all the way from Farmington, didn't know they lived there!...Chuck Mathews, new eyeballs and all...and mostly Larry Clemans and Andy and Lynn Patzert, Clem and Andy were guidance counselors for Deb, Dan and I in the olden days! How cool was it to see those guys?! Brian had a great time but could only handle about an hour and a half. His day begins very early and all the noise and stimulation was overwhelming. But, today at therapy he was wearing his shirt and proudly telling everyone that his sister designed it and that Saturday was the fund raiser. It is very cool that he remembered it with no prompting. Memory is definately getting better...sometimes. He is walking a little bit with a four pronged cane. Getting stronger but a long way from solitary moving. His forearm in tight but he wears a new contraption during OT that helps him to grasp objects and release them. I tell him that he looks like Ahnold or Robocop. He likes that. So, keep those prayers a coming. He is doing so well with everyones help.
All for now, Love, Marcy :)
